WINE MAKING PROCESS
Gramona III Lustros is produced using the traditional method, with primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by an extended aging period of over 80 months on its lees under a natural cork stopper. This prolonged maturation is a defining characteristic of the wine. Disgorgement is performed by hand. The grapes are sourced from the Font de Jui estate, which is managed using organic and biodynamic viticultural practices.
